| watts per channel when biamping Depends. What are you driving? The numbers you offer are only what the amps are supposedly capable of doing under test, not what you will get from them under normal conditions. Think about this: if you bi-amp, do you really think most tweeters can... | |
| Monitors to pair with a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 Soliloquy 5.3 might be a good choice. | |
| CD outputs and HDCD I sincerely doubt it but, if you can offer some documentation, I would like to see it. BTW, the BB 24/96 may be "capable" of a wider dynamic range but there are only the same number of bits from CD for all the DACs. | |
| CD outputs and HDCD 6dB vs. 8dB dynamic range? Check your sources since either one would suck. One problem was the mandatory default lowering of the gain by 6dB for regular CDs. Many fixes were offered. | |
| DVD-A questions: LFE channel; DTS/DVD-A confusion The LFE levels are not a problem in playing the Silverline/Abravanel discs, specifically, as those same burbles are audible on the correspondig Artemis SACD reissues (4.0, no LFE) even when I play them without bass management. They occur irregular... | |
| DVD-A questions: LFE channel; DTS/DVD-A confusion BUy some new recordings, not reissued remasters. ;-)Seriously, the Vanguard/Abravanel reissues are all troubled by that LF noise.Kal | |
| CD outputs and HDCD At the time that HDCD came out, the PM oversampling filter used for it was superior to the other filters on the market. That was in the past. | |
| the best speaker They sounded very nice at CES but I wouldn't say they eliminate the competition. You gotta go with the styling, though. | |
| Redbook: only 1/4 of the master tape??? I do not know what you read or from where but it sounds like nonsense to me. | |
| Question for designers. Acive or passive?? Dunno. | |
| Quality of Demo LPs Just avoid the ones that say "Radio Mix" or similar. These are EQed peaky for broadcast and listening on cheap radios. | |
| state of the art home theatre.... If your codicil is to be taken seriously, you should find the best custom HT shop in your town and you can act as the advisor. They will have the skills and experience to hide and integrate the equipment well beyond the abilities of most serious a... | |
| Pre/Pro with 2 MCH analog inputs plus.. No. The Bryston and the Pre5 have 6 analog channels, although they each handle them a bit differently as the Bryston has digital processing as well. The only way to convert your 2channel preamp to 5.1 is to buy 2 more! | |
| Question for designers. Acive or passive?? It is active in the sense that power is required to charge the dielectric. | |
| Pre/Pro with 2 MCH analog inputs plus.. Thanks. I've seen and heard the MP1 but it ain't a processor and that means an additional box on the already crowded rack. |
